“Oh no, not me, I never lost control”
Last week we posted the newly discovered evidence that the UK version of The Man Who Sold The World (TMWSTW), was released on Thursday 8th April 1971, fifty years ago today.
Judging by today’s celebrations all over Bowie socials, the small detail that we posted the item on 1st April did nothing to make fans suspicious of this new information. And rightly so, it's a good old-fashioned fact.
Also issued on the same day were two compilations containing Bowie tracks. Dimension Of Miracles was a double vinyl Mercury sampler which contained tracks from new and recent releases including The Width Of A Circle.
Meanwhile Philips released The Sound Of The Seventies, not a wholly convincing description of the content seeing as the Bowie track was from the previous decade in the shape of Space Oddity.
Today’s montage is just for fun and features reimagined versions of the front cover of TMWSTW, alongside the released version you all know and love.
